Satwalekar, who has worked at the firm for over two decades, formerly served as the CEO and CIO at Vietcombank Fund Management (VCBF), which is a joint venture between Franklin Templeton and Vietcombank. He will however, continue to serve as chairman of VCBF board.
Satwelekar will move to Kuala Lumpur from Ho Chi Minh City for the new role, while Singh will move from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai.
